In this night, participants will enjoy the company of:

Marcel Khalife;

playing “Al-Sharq Symphony”.

Al Sharq Symphony is a symphonic-choral composition played by the famous artist Marcel Khalife. This masterpiece was debuted in a concert in Piacenza, Italy in 2006.
Marcel Khalife is composer, oud master, singer, performer and UNESCO artist for peace. For many years, he’s taught music at public and private music institutions. Moreover, during that same period, he toured the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and the United States, giving solo performances on the oud in several prestigious halls. Oud playing was traditionally constrained by the strict techniques that governed this art. Highly talented and skillful musicians – such as Marcel Khalife – were, however, able to free the instrument from those constraints and thus greatly expand its possibilities.
